WARNING

Never drive with just the side lights on. Risk of accident. The side lights are not bright enough to illuminate the road ahead and to ensure that other road users are able to see you. Always use your dipped headlights if it is dark or if visibility is poor.

Note
• The dipped beam headlights will only work with the ignition on. The side lights come on automatically when the ignition is turned off.
• If the lights are left on after the key has been taken out of the ignition lock, a buzzer sounds when the driver door is opened. This is a reminder to switch off the lights.
• If the coming home* feature is activated, the acoustic signal for the dipped beam headlights will not sound, it will sound if the position lights are activated.
• The rear fog light is so bright that it can dazzle drivers behind you. You should use the rear fog light only when visibility is very poor.
• If you are towing a trailer equipped with a rear fog light on a vehicle with a factory-fitted towing bracket, the rear fog light on the car will automatically be switched off.
• The use of the lighting described here is subject to the relevant statutory requirements.
